Brompton-Westbrook Science

Our vision is for all children to be passionate and curious learners. Children investigate their own questions through practical, meaningful experiences.

After reading 'Percy's Bumpy Ride' the children created their own 'flying machines' using a variety of construction resources and junk modelling. There has been so much creativity and mark making!
